Answer: B)

Explanation: In "A Modest Proposal", by Jonathan Swift, according to the narrator the advantage that impoverished children of Ireland have is that they can become thieves. He writes in a satirical way about British tyranny in Ireland. Impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. It is also common to see children begging on the streets, which in turn can become thieves for the "need of a job".
